Nez Magazine Edition 4 is a unisex unscented magazine. There are those who have dedicated their lives to having perfumery recognized as an art form and those who have embraced it as a business opportunity. But how should we look today at perfume, a complex and fascinating object, born of the imagination of those who create it and fueled by the desire of those who choose it? In this issue, we explore perfume as language and as a concept, questioning its nature from a philosophical, aesthetic, historical, legal and, of course, artistic perspective. Because art, traditionally reserved for sight and hearing, is finally recognizing the emotional and narrative potential of smell.

In each issue, the journey into the olfactory universe will make several stops, passing through the "Odorama" dossier, in which there will be a focus on raw materials by investigating their use and symbology, and then taking a leap into the past thanks to curiosities of relevant personalities in the world of perfumery with the "Correspondences," until imagining what stars of the past would choose upon entering an imaginary "Boutique." Finally, an agenda enumerates olfactory events not to be missed: books, exhibitions or other events (increasingly numerous) related to perfume. This is just a foretaste of what awaits you as you flip through the magazine and explore its topics page by page.
